Here tis - game recommendation time.The purpose of this thread is to compile a list of recommended games that those of us who haven’t played every adventure game can use to help determine what to play next. I first came to Gameboomers to get information on what games were out there and which of them were worth playing, and it is still a popular topic on the discussion board. Hopefully this list will help provide that information, based on the collective wisdom of us all.It is not strictly a favourites list, although most of your recommendations will be your favourite games. The critical thing is whether you would recommend it to someone who asked “please give me a list of good adventure games to play”.Tastes differ, so the list will cover all types of adventure games. The final list will be linked to reviews, so that someone who knows they like Tex Murphy can use the reviews to find similar games from the list. It will also be linked to a walkthru.I will do a numerical list and an alphabetical list like last year, and with help from the Mac-ers it will indicate which games can be played on their tangerine machines.The list is for adventure games, and without getting into definitions I think we know one when we see one.Rules are simple:

1. You can recommend a maximum 15 games (you can of course recommend less)2. You cannot recommend a series with a single recommendation (if you want to recommend all the Tex Murphy games, you will need to list them separately).3. Myst and RealMyst will be treated as being the same game.

We will keep the thread open for 3 weeks, and I will provide intermittent updates.So without further ado, here is my list:

Atlantis: The Lost TalesExileIndiana Jones and the Fates of AtlantisJewels of the OracleLighthouseMonkey Island: Revenge of LeChuck (I think)realMystReturn to ZorkRivenSPQRTimelapseZork Grand InquisitorZork NemesisZork Zero (the text game)

These are practically most of the adventure games I have anyways... oh well! Enjoy!

I would highly reccomend thefollowing:Tex Murphy "Under A Killing Moon"Tex Murphy "Overseer"Tex Murphy "Pandora Directive"Gabriel Knight "Sins Of The Fathers"The Longest JourneyAmber Journey's BeyondSecrets Of The LuxorMystDisc World NoirBlack DelhiaLast ExpressDracula UnleashedI guess you can see that I am sort of partial to Ole Tex

I had alot of problems trying to narrow my list to 15 games so I decided to not list older games that don't meet todays graphic standards. In case anybody out there is into older classic games I would suggest Space Quest 1 The Sarien Encounter,SQ2 Vohauls Revenge,SQ3 Pirates of Pestulon,Kings Quest 2 Romancing the Throne,KQ4 Perils of Rosella,and Zac McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders. I also want to mention the games that couldn't make my top 15 but deserve mention SQ4 Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers,Dracula The Last Sanctuary,Sanitarium,Grim Fandango,Riddle of Master Lu,and The Dig. Well here are my selections:1.Secret of Monkey Island2.Monkey Island 2 LeChucks Revenge3.Curse of Monkey Island4.Gabriel Knight 2 The Beast Within5.Discworld6.Discworld 2 Mortality Bytes7.Simon the Sorcerer8.Simon the Sorcerer 2 The Lion,The Wizard,and the Wardrobe9.The Longest Journey10.Kings Quest 7 The Princeless Bride11.Maniac Mansion 2 Day of the Tentacle12.Broken Sword Circle of Blood13.Legend of Kyrandia Book 114.Fable15.Space Quest 5 The Next Mutation

I also wanted to point out that alot of these great games are available from the online game stores for under $10.
